Congratulations to Marina Alanna Gatto, a 16-year-old gay-rights cause celebre who was just selected by the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors and Commission on the Status of Women as a 2005 inductee into their Women's Hall of Fame.

"As the daughter of two lesbian mothers, she has overcome prejudice to become an amazing and inspiring lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender advocate,'' her official award bio says. . . .

No kidding -- the story behind the story reads like something out of a TV drama.

Marina has two Mommies, isn't that special:

Who's her daddy?

Who's her daddy?

The one who wears the pants in the family? Guess that doesn't answer the question either. The one with the shortest haircut perhaps.

I have a randomn question...

If your child was friends with a kid at school who had Gay or Lesbian same sex parents would you let him or her go over for a playdate?

[LauraleeBraswell]

There is a Lesbian couple in my town who adopted four Asian girls.

I don't understand that. If your attracted to a woman who looks like a man why not just marry a man ?????

If your a lesbian than you should be attracted to women. Not women who look like men, or at least thats the way it should be.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

That's a negative. I wouldn't let my cat visit!

[End Times Sentinel]

Hmmm... they're sort of running contrary to my theory that only faux lesbienism is a beautiful thing.

Which one's the kid? Which one's the diesel?

[Goodgirlinred]

The guy her Mama divorced.

[Goodgirlinred]

Makes no sense to me either.

[Goodgirlinred]

I don't understand a woman being attracted to another woman. I mean, well, guys just have that certain something. I can't define it. They just do.

If your child was friends with a kid at school who had Gay or Lesbian same sex parents would you let him or her go over for a playdate?

Nope.

[LauraleeBraswell]

I don't have kids, but If the parents were gay men ABSOLUTELY NO. If the parents were lesbian, well I might relent.

[LauraleeBraswell]

I just thought about it because there is a Lesbian couple in my town. And they have four asian little girls.

Good thing I don't have kids now.

"As the daughter of two lesbian mothers, she has overcome prejudice to become an amazing and inspiring lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender advocate,'' her official award bio says. .

So? My official bio reads:

As the son of heterosexual parents, he has overcome prejudice to become an amazing and inspiring gunowning-cat hating- dog loving- animal hunting-Christian father of twin daughters-mountain dwelling-trailor trash living- MAN.

How's them apples?

"I am very aware that my mom was sued for (child) custody on the basis of her homosexuality,''

AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGGGGH!
She was sued because her mother was providing an unsafe environment in the midst of a tumultuous and violent relationship with two female cops.

I don't understand that. If your attracted to a woman who looks like a man why not just marry a man ?????

Because they hate men! Why? They are born that way

[LauraleeBraswell]

Which is interesting.

There are many many more Lesbian women statistically than gay men.
And it's also more socially acceptable to be a Lesbian than a gay man.

Heterosexual people are usually disgusted by men kissing, but not by women kissing.

[It's me]

NO WAY.

If your attracted to a woman who looks like a man why not just marry a man ?????

I've always wondered that same thing. Woman attracted to woman who looks like a man - sort of defeats the purpose.
